I'll choose making fun of astrology.

    even if i were male and straight, I don't think i could ever respect astrology...

    but moreover, it's creepy as fuck for someone to pretend a change in their beliefs just for sex. that's kinda literally false pretense for sex. i know I'd never convince a jury of it, but as far as I'm concerned in my personal life, imagining doing such a thing fills me with revulsion and it crosses the line into sexual assault territory.

    you realize it's incredibly common for folks to do this? of any gender?

    i broke up with most of my exes because they false presented themselves to me. they saw absolutely nothing wrong with it, and to them I was the one who was awful and terrible for not 'loving and accepting them for who they really are'. i had one ex who specific said 'you'd have never dated me if i had told you the truth'.

    was I sexually assaulted by those women? who deliberately lied to me to have sex and engage in a relationship with me?

    I don't think very many people would consider what they did as sexual assault.

    The difference is most of them don't believe in any of it. It's just entertaining to them. Find ten people who say like astrology and ask them to make base a life deciding event on it all 10 of them will make the decision on factors outside of astrology.

    An easy way to tell, if they ask what month you were born in, they don't believe in astrology... As the months don't line up with the stars.

    And then you have people like my own mom who judges, and forms whole opinions about, people based on their astrology signs.

    Even if some sort of behaviour completely contradicts their supposed astral sign, she'll make it fit.
